This was the second severing of mother and daughter. The tape was playing in a loop.
Benedict Vitai
What is it that drives these cycles? And what is the force that breaks the cycles? Where and how did awareness first enter this world?

Nick Cave
“Hope is optimism with a broken heart.”
Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

Humphrey Carpenter
“People in this land,’ he wrote in 1941, ‘seem not even yet to realise that in the Germans we have enemies whose virtues (and they are virtues) of obedience and patriotism are greater than ours in the mass. I have in this War a burning private grudge against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler for ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.”
Humphrey Carpenter, J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography

Fulton J. Sheen
“Conscience is always enlightened when sin is seen as hurting someone we love. No sin can touch one of God’s stars or silence one of His words, but it can cruelly wound His heart. Once the Penitent understands this truth, he can see why he has such emptiness and desolation and his soul: he hurt the one he loves.”
Fulton J. Sheen, The Priest Is Not His Own

“No world is rock real. As a certain poet in Dublin once said to me when, as a young journalist, I was emerging one enchanted evening, from a reception in a fashion-modelling agency, and had marvelled to him about the unreality, or it seemed to me to be, of the world in which those beautiful creations pirouetted.
No world, the poet said sadly, is rock real.”
Benedict Kiely, Drink to the Bird

Fulton J. Sheen
“Repentance is not concerned with consequences. This is what distinguishes it from remorse, which is inspired principally by fear of unpleasant consequences”
Fulton J. Sheen, The Priest Is Not His Own
